What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, teachers do not design learning activities that enable pupils to apply what they know and can do sufficiently well. This means that opportunities are missed to broaden and deepen pupils' learning. The school should ensure that teachers' expectations of what pupils can achieve are consistently high in these few remaining subjects.
